Context Gateway

Compresr is a YC-backed company building LLM prompt compression and context optimization.

Context Gateway sits between your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) and the LLM API. When your conversation gets too long, it compresses history in the background so you never wait for compaction.

Quick Start

# Install gateway binary curl -fsSL https://compresr.ai/api/install | sh # Then select an agent (opens interactive TUI wizard) context-gateway

The TUI wizard will help you:

Choose an agent (claude_code, cursor, openclaw, or custom)

Create/edit configuration: Summarizer model and api key enable slack notifications if needed Set trigger threshold for compression (default: 75%)
